kathryninthelibrary 's review for:
Since we can't go anywhere, might as well read about travel, right? Ticket to Ride is an interesting account of various train travels all over the globe. Of course, it's given me major locomotive wanderlust, but one thing I didn't expect was for this book to remind me of how little I actually know about the world. This is especially true of the idiosyncrasies of train travel or the [recent and tumultuous] history of young countries such as Kosovo.
I have traveled by train a few times (short trips in France, the Chunnel from Paris to London, and an overnight from Paris to Berlin), and I agree with the author that there is a certain romance to train travel - the relaxed pace, the countryside steaming past. After finishing this read (book 17 for the year), I'm adding a few more trains to my bucket list.
